Get better Bill! I live with a light head and have for years. I fear colds as it can put me into vertigo. Take care and squash that bug.
Bill, get over it! No bad luck here! We are just old people trying to connect! Just walk in my shoes one day...not pretty! But I muddle through some how!
Mornin Bill -- I love your new avatar! That is a keeper! It brings back great memories of chuck wagon camp outs. The dutch oven Shepherd's sourdough bread, chili with beans and beef chuck chunks (not hamburger), and the early morning campfire brewed coffee with eggs and homemade beef sausage. The smell of the fresh fall mountain air. Were you raised on a ranch Bill or a ranch hand?
I'm going back to drinking coffee black.I did in the first thirty-five years of my life then add cream and finally sugar. I did switch to a synthetic sugar much later. But I have been drinking my coffee black for the past several days. I have decided it's good to taste a good coffee before adding anything.
My condolences, Bill.. Maybe next year. . . I'm following Clemson/Ohio State now. Guess I'm rooting for Clemson.
I-came on earlier to make a post, then started looking at the Recent Posts and completely forgot what I was originally going to say. Probably just as well. We as couple living here in this town need to address some of the concerns we had almost nine years ago when we moved here. We moved here to be near our son and his family, hoping to get to know our two grand children better here and perhaps when needed, our son could be of some assistance to us when we got older and not as efficient. My wife is almost blind. She is blind in one eye and because of an eye disease and cataracts her good eye is failing. We have fully arrived at that time. My health is not good. I'm a long time COPD patient at the VA. My ticker is not working as it used to and is now not pumping enough blood carrying oxygen to my head and other organs. I can't stand and do anything and even if I wasn't light headed and dizzy when I stand, I don't have enough oxygen in my lung to do anything useful. I am also blind in one eye. When you think about it, we sound like a pair of throw aways, no longer useful for any thing but still must be maintained. My son came over this morning and washed the breakfast dishes, swept and mopped the floors. I think it is time we got some help. He doesn't have time to periodically do things like this for us. so I asked Him to find us someone who will come in occasionally and help us out, help I can handle with in my budget. He agreed to do that. My good woman is no longer able to handle some of this stuff, and I have been useless for some good time. If we were a lesser species we would be euthanized. I am grateful we still have out wits about us most of the time and can still think and converse. I can no longer spell very well and more inclined to let it go rather than look up a work. And sometime I feel downright feeble but I tell myself we still have each other and still help each other and we do the best we can with what we have. I suppose I'm putting this in print because it has been on my mind and I have nothing else to say at the moment. I'm not complaining, merely looking at the way things have turned out, dear diary.
It's good to see you here, @Bill Boggs . Don't worry about the spelling. We'll figure out what you mean. I hope you find someone to help with the housework. I wonder if Medicare will help pay for someone to help if your doctor says you need it? It won't hurt to ask, anyway. Keep in touch with us. {{{{{hugs}}}}} for you and the missus.
Yes, the VA will pay for it. We had someone from an agency for a while but my wife couldn't stand what they were charging the VA so she cancelled our help. She thought that money could best go to help some young vets coming home from war rather than two old folks.
I'm sure she's a very nice lady but I must heartily disagree with her. Y'all have paid your dues and deserve help as much as anybody did. So get it! Before I have to come over there, young man. (That's what I used to say to my boys when I meant business.)
